Summary of This Method
This collection offers the transcription of about 150 of the most famous jazz solos, transcribed precisely "exactly as recorded" by legends of the genre. The goal is clear: to provide you with authentic musical material to develop your ear, understand idiomatic turns (chromatic approaches, arpeggios, substitutions, bebop lines), and assimilate the sense of swing, placement, and musical breathing.
The content spans a wide range of styles and aesthetics, based on a repertoire that every jazz musician encounters sooner or later. It notably includes major standards and themes such as All The Things You Are, Autumn Leaves, Take Five, Spain, Blue Train (Blue Trane), Stella By Starlight, Confirmation, and My Funny Valentine. An excellent working tool to transcribe, memorize, transpose, and reuse ideas in your own improvisations, while consolidating your jazz culture.
